Imperial capital.

The hot summer arrives, and everyone becomes a little impetuous.

With the change of the court, the Grand Duke of the Eastern Territory, the Minister of Imperial Affairs, and the Marshal of the Counterinsurgency and Crusade Army, Bruce Medici, assumed the post of Prime Minister, and when the decree to recover the fiefs and rights of the minor nobles was implemented according to the emperor's orders, the nobles of the whole country began to become anxious.

Although it was the right and fief of the nobles below the baron, the nobles were nobles, and even if the title and status were not high, they were still the nobles of the Augustian Empire.

The capital and foundation of this country's dominance in the world!

The emperor regarded the nobles as enemies!

First, the imperial domain and the nobles in the central part lost their rights and fiefs, and now the small nobles of the whole country are facing the same crisis.

Suddenly, the whole country was angry!

Especially the soldiers who made meritorious contributions in the battle to quell the rebellion and crusade against the steppe.

Most of the titles and fiefs that they have just received have not yet been warmed, and they have to be handed over by the emperor's orders......

How could they be willing?

Therefore, everyone thinks that it is a mess!

As the Grand Duke of Medici, who pushed the executive order, he had already stood on the cusp, absorbing the hatred of all the nobles, and more than once offered to resign from the post of prime minister.

But every time it was forcibly rejected by the emperor!

Of course, as the Grand Duke of the East, Bruce Medici, who pursued the policy, did not forcibly reclaim the power and fiefdoms of the minor nobles of the East.

And the Grand Duke of the Westside is dead, and there is no one to speak for the minor nobles of the West.

There is no one in the nobility of the Snowy and Northlands.

In these three places, the policy of recovering the rights and fiefs of the minor nobles was implemented at the first time.

The landless nobles who threw themselves into the two duchesses, Isabella Stuart and Elena Romanoff, swore allegiance, but never got the land and rights they craved.

Because the emperor does not approve!

Even with the authorization of the two of them, they can take over the territory and exercise their rights when they return to the Snowy and Northlands.

The empire will not recognize their legitimacy either.....

Nominal!

There are also the Bourbon families in the south.

Gendry Bourbon the Elder would not allow the Emperor and Bruce Medici to lose the benefit of the nobles of the South, nor would he allow them to pursue a policy of forced repossession in the South.

In the face of the protection of the southern border, the emperor's side seems to have a greater advantage because of the Grand Duke of the Eastern Border.

In fact, Bruce Medici did not share the emperor's heart.

The resistance quickly became even greater!

The prime minister deliberately allowed the petty nobles to make things bigger, and soon it was so bad that he lost the emperor, and the main transportation routes from the imperial territory and the central part of the country to the east, south, and west were blocked, and the prices of goods in various towns soared.

The bad situation has caused the civilians of the imperial capital to be instigated.

And then there was a fuss!

At this point, Prime Minister Bruce Medici submitted his resignation for the twenty-third time.

Emperor Adams August also rejected it once again, not allowing this target to leave like this, even if the Grand Duke of the East could no longer attract firepower, he was unwilling to let the Duke of Real Power return to his East Territory.

even wants to bring the old Gendry Bourbon to the imperial capital as an official!

For the chaos that appeared in the imperial capital, the imperial territory, and the central region.

Adams August also sent troops to carry out**.

But it's useless!

As soon as the soldiers arrived, the troublemakers hid and then moved elsewhere to continue the chaos under the protection of the nobles.

Play guerrilla tactics!

Because a large number of nobles and knights were expelled from the royal army, only the commoners who rose up at the grassroots level remained, and the cultural education and their abilities were uneven, their work efficiency was much lower.

There is also a lack of strength, and many things cannot be handled at all.

That's it.

In the hot weather, the emperor lost his temper every day over these troubles, and smashed the fine porcelain and fine glass products that Lanton had painstakingly made by the craftsmen.

You must know that Langton, who took over the Royal Chamber of Commerce, has set up a money-making stall.

In just half a month, I earned hundreds of thousands of deposits.

As long as the transaction is successfully completed.

You can get millions of profits!

However, everything was affected by the chaos in the imperial capital, the imperial domain, and the central region, and none of them could be successfully completed.

How could Adams Augusta not be angry?

"Father, there's such a big commotion outside, shouldn't we just accept it when we see it?"

Looking at the angry emperor, the emperor's eldest son, Peter Auguste, who had returned from the different planes, couldn't help but say: "After all, we have achieved great success in taking the imperial territory and the central region, and there is no need to push the nobles from all over the country too hard. ”

"You know what?"

Hearing the words of the eldest son, Adams became even more angry, smashed several glasses in a row, and said: "If you don't take advantage of the victory to pursue, do you want to wait for the nobles to unite, and then set off a greater rebellion in the empire?"

Pete August lowered his head helplessly: "But my father... Grandpa, they heard what you wanted on the Alien Plane... It's true... Very angry......"

"Angry?"

Adams August: "I'm all for the Empire!"

Pete August: "But... Father... You're in a hurry......"

"This only provokes the revolt of the nobles......"

"In a hurry?"

Adams August: "Am I doing this for you?!For the empire to become stronger in the future?!"

"People's hearts change!"

"When we prop up those commoners to hold power for too long, they will inevitably want to become nobles!"

"And it will definitely unite with those nobles in the east and south!"

"If we don't solve it now, I'm afraid we won't have a future!"

Pete August was worried: "But Father... Grandpa, they don't support you in changing the song......"

"Without grandpa, they support... It's hard for us to succeed ......"

"Shut up and get out!"

Adams August was even more irritated by his son's death, and he didn't know how big it was to take back all the rights and fiefs of the nobles without the support of his father, who had abdicated and gone to the different planes.

But for the sake of the future of the empire, you can't do it without support!

......

......

Losing rights and fiefs, what is left of the nobility except for false titles?

After receiving the news of the resumption of the rights and fiefs of the minor nobles, the two duchesses, Isabella Stuart and Elena Romanoff, almost returned to the snowy and northland to return to the imperial capital.

But the current situation in the snowy region and the northland is too bad, there are no soldiers and horses, and there is no population.

I don't have the confidence to do anything!

Ultimately......

I could only go home angrily.

The nobles of the western frontier did not have the protection of the grand duke, the guardian family was not in vain, and there was no one to succeed the guardian duke, and in the face of the emperor's decree to forcibly withdraw rights and fiefs, the minor nobles in the western frontier had no power to resist.

Directly lose all rights such as the right to rule the territory, the right to tax, the right to recruit, and so on.

There is no right to recruit, except that soldiers cannot be recruited, and private soldiers cannot be retained.

If you continue to keep private soldiers, you will break the law!

And the elite troops of the royal family were mobilized to the west to suppress the small nobles who had lost their rights, but still retained their private soldiers.

As a result, the affairs of the imperial capital, the imperial territory, and the central part of the country became more and more troublesome, and there was no strong army to suppress it.

In both the southern and eastern borders, the decree of reclaiming rights and fiefs could not be carried out, and the nobles of both places did not take this chaotic life seriously, and Emperor Adams August was very sensible.

Knowing that the little nobles who can't move the east and south now.

So in the calculations of Bruce Medici and old Gendry Bourbon two.

Prepare to disarm them.

Then clean up the nobles of the East and the South!

......

......

Back on the side of the Alternate Plane, after this period of hard study, Reinaldo Reyes, Roderick Fox, Jackson Ogas, Martin Burns and others have also initially mastered the fighting spirit and laid the foundation for the path they want to take.

While staying on the Alternate Plane can lead to faster strengthening, it's very dangerous here.

If you are not careful, you will die from the influence of evil!

Drinking potions every day is not a problem.

The human body will develop drug resistance!

There is no way to stay until they have completely resisted the evil influences, and the risk can be life-or-death.

It could also be ten deaths!

After much thought, everyone decided to go back.

Leave the Alien Plane for a while, go back to the Overworld, and go back to the beautiful flower world of the August Empire.

As a doppelganger, he is not afraid of the influence of the gods of Cthulhu.

Lanton stayed.

But the various warrior courses that have been launched in the giant city have no way to continue.

After all, the main students have all left, and the master-level powerhouse in charge of teaching has no time to pay attention, and his job is the Langton clone of the mage.

The boring study life has begun again.

But.

Reinado and the others returned to the imperial capital, knew the emperor's orders, and became nobles with military merits, but they did not have fiefs and had no noble rights.

The three sworn brothers, Jackson Augas, William Wilson, and David Davis, who failed to become barons, were all dumbfounded.

Martin Burns understood that the Emperor was pursuing further plans.

also recognized his song change!

After saying goodbye to everyone, he hurried into the palace, completely swore allegiance to Adams August, voluntarily renounced the rights and fiefs of the Burns family, and returned them to the empire.

As a result, Martin's military rank was immediately promoted to five levels in a row, and he became a general who controlled 10,000 people.

When Reinado, Roderick and others came back to their respective homes to know the news.

All full of contempt for him!

Jackson, William, and David were all commoners, with no fiefdoms, only a mere title of nobility and gold coins for military exploits.

Now the imperial capital, the imperial territory, and the central part are in chaos, and prices are soaring.

They have nowhere to go, and they don't want to sit and eat.

Seeing that the emperor was still recruiting.

The three of them simply went to the military headquarters to take up their posts, and went to be officers who were looked down upon by all the nobles and no one cared about when their military merits were rewarded.

For the emperor to forcibly take away the rights and titles of minor nobles below the baron.

Reinaldo Reyes didn't care too much about his own affairs, and returned to his hometown happily with a large bounty in exchange for military exploits, and received the territory obtained from the two wars.

But he didn't expect it, and he didn't know, that the fief that the emperor rewarded him with had a lord!

Or a group of petty nobles who were forcibly taken away from their fiefs and rights!

Took over the territory.

Reinado unknowingly harvested a large number of enemies!

It has become a target to attract firepower again!

Roderick Fawkes, like him, soon learned of the Emperor's tactics by accepting compensation from the Medici Archduke to whom he was loyal instead of taking the fiefs of the minor nobles who had not been forcibly taken away.

Although the gain is not large, it has not been hated for no reason.

The Emperor wanted the Augustan Empire to be better.

He was in too much of a hurry.

Even if it's done the right way.

The aristocracy, who has received an elite education, knows very well who is the real enemy and who makes them lose everything!

As Loki proposed to the Emperor to establish a school to recruit commoners to teach knowledge.

The situation in the empire is no longer a frenzy!

Rather, it is turning into a powder keg!

Losing their fiefs and rights, the nobles still have a chance to get them back, and if the commoners have knowledge, they have the possibility to compete with them.

When the emperor has a commoner-born talent to use, where will he think of the nobility?

As for taking back the fiefs and rights?

I'm afraid it's going to be difficult!

I feel that the future is getting bleaker.

The nobles have already given birth to the idea of rebellion that they should not have!

But here is the Augustian Empire.

The power of the royal family is extremely strong!

Not to mention the different planes, the royal family who guards the imperial capital is enshrined, and there are three master-level powerhouses.

The powerful Royal Praetorian Guard and the Royal Knights are enough to fight against the soldiers and horses united by the two eastern and southern borders.

Needless to say, the Royal Guard is the best of the best.

Royal Knights......

All members are transcendental!

It's not a black iron level, it's all bronze and above!

Orphaned origin.

Raised by the royal family since childhood!

Like the First Legion in the East, the comprehensive strength is less than one percent of the Royal Knights, and even the low-level officers are all black iron transcendents, and the middle level is not comparable to the Royal Praetorian Guard, which is all bronze-ranked.

According to the current situation of the Empire, not to mention dealing with the East and South, it is to add the West, Snow and Northland.

Can't beat the royal family.

So...

Rebellion is not going to work......

Before reaching a dead end, the nobles who still have reason will definitely not choose to do this.

But they won't give up.

The court was unable to confront the emperor, so he began to disobey the yang and the yin, and slack off his work......

Those places that the imperial power could not manage also became the best battlefields, as long as they were not suppressed by the two major armies.

The nobles do whatever they want!

Soon.

The whole empire was in a mess.

Countless commoners suffered, and the nobles who ran the place would not report it to the court.

And suppress all the ridiculousness!

The emperor was to give preferential treatment to the commoners.

Some nobles even more oppressed, and claimed that all kinds of harsh taxes were ordered by the emperor, and poured all the dirty water on the emperor, turning him into the target of hatred and anger of all the commoners!

The lack of security has made civilians dangerous for all.

When something more drastic happens......

The fire of rebellion, which was finally extinguished, quietly ignited again!

And all that.

In the palace, Emperor Adams August, who was busy recovering the rights and fiefs of the minor nobles, did not know about it by letting all his eyes and ears out.

The empire is also stepping into the abyss!

Deep in the mountains somewhere in the empire.

The two brothers Derek Alexander and Eric Alexander, who are now in hiding, inquired about the situation in the empire.

I see the hope of overthrowing this rotten empire again!

On the steppe.

Through a special channel, the news of the chaos that is now in place throughout the empire, the Golden Horde King Adira Abu Basi and his four sons.

An opportunity to re-emerge was also discovered!

...... To be continued......
